Hon, James ID. Porter, Assistant Secretary
Of State, Washington, ID. U.
SIR deem 1t proper to appriSe you
OF the disastrous effect OF the inter-
state commerce bill on imports and
experts 10 and from Canada and the
United States, il beiug matter OF
Importance to our merchants and
manufacturers and alec to the revenue
OF our government.
The result OF the act has been m oct
damaging to us, both ss regards ex-
sorts and imports, and Is severely felt
both by the buyers and sellers TO and
from the United States. The records
OF this oifice for the month Of April
show less activity aad fewer exports
than ever before for the same period,
aud the same believe to be true
throughout Canada; In fact, for week
alter the bill took effect business was
at q standstill aud is at present con-
fined almost exclusively TO points like
Buffalo and Detroit, which are imme-
distely across the line aud require no
haul over American railways.
The Canadian railways cannot yet
give through rate over half OF their
own and connecting American lines,
and shippers are consequently unwill.
ing TO let their goods go 20 the frontier
not knowing what the future delivery
to an inland or seaboard point will
cost. This, however, is by no means
the worst teRture OF the case, as the
importance Of receiving Cansda's ex.
ports is lost when compared with the
damage done our import trade into
Canada. AS l showed in my
annual report we last year lost
some 10 per cent. Of an
advantage over England in this mar
ket, and where competition is 30 keen
and freights from England and New
York so near the same and in this, the
busy season Of selling goods for deliv-
cry, we give the Englisbman . great
advantage over us by his being able to
name the exact rate OF freight, whilo
the American salesman, in the present
chaotic condition OF railway tariffs
cannot say whether the rate on his
golds will be 81 or s. per 100 pounds.
A settlement must shortly be arrived
at, or our commerce will receive such

MINING LOCATIONS
St. Paul.

The United States Supreme Court in a
recent decision insists that to make a valid
mining location the boundary side and
end lines must be distinctly marked on
the surface, and they must govern in any
contest with a junior location. The court
= Ii the first locator will not or can
not make the explorations necessary to
ascertain the true course of the vein, ami
draws his lines ignorantly, he must bear
the consequences. He can only assert a
lateral right to so much Of his vein as lies
between the vertical planes drawn through
those lines. Junior lotators will not be
p%rejudiced thereby, though subsequent
explorations may show that he has erred
in his location. Locators will perceive the
necessity of sufficiently exploring the dis
covered vein before a final marking of the
boundaries of the claim. This can be
done so long as the adjoining ground is
unclaimed. It may appear upon such ex-
plorasion that the end lines as first fixed
may prove to be the side lines as the vein
actually runs. If the adjoining ground
has been claimed, there is no help for the
first claimant, and the width of his claim
as located may become the length when
the true course of the vein is found.
